Felipe Sholl’s feature directorial debut earned top honours as the 18th edition of the Rio Film Festival concluded on Sunday night by honouring new voices of Brazilian cinema.
The Redentor awards were handed out at Espaco Cultural Bnds, where The Other End also received the best actress prize for Karine Teles, who stars in the unusual love story between a teenage boy and the female patient of his psychoanalyst mother.
The Other End explores the idea that love can be found in unexpected places with irony and lightness. Sholl dealt with a similar theme in Tá (2007), the winner of the Teddy award for best short film at Berlinale that centres on two young men who meet in a public bathroom.
A Woman And The Father, Cristiane Oliveira’s first feature, picked up three awards. Oliveira took the best director award, while the young newcomer Verónica Perrotta was named best supporting actress and cinematographer Heloisa Passos won the...

It’s not every day that a three-time Oscar nominee for directing decides on a foreign language film to be his next project, but that’s exactly what Stephen Daldry of Billy Elliot, The Hours, and The Reader fame has done. Following in the footsteps of fellow Brit Danny Boyle—whose journey to India for Slumdog Millionaire earned his sole nomination and subsequently an Oscar win—Daldry takes on the novel Trash written by Andy Mulligan about three impoverished boys working as garbage pickers who find something in their nameless city’s landfill that sparks a police manhunt with grave political stakes. Adapted by Richard Curtis and situated in Brazil with corruption regarding its looming Olympics, this effectively tense adventure also delivers the heart and heroism audiences love.
Will it spell the same success as Boyle’s phenomenon? I doubt it. Not only is Portuguese used so prevalently that this...

This samba-fuelled slice-of-life set in a old-style Brazilian dancehall is an entertaining, and occasionally heart-rending, film, says Andrew Pulver
This affectionate tribute to old-style Brazilian dancehalls is powered by a cheerful samba soundtrack, and the participation of a seemingly ageless Elza Soares, who belts out numbers in the guise of a low-rent house band crooner. Against this pungently authentic backdrop we are guided through a somewhat fraught evening in one such dancehall in Sao Paulo: the clientele are defiantly of a certain age, but still hanging in there for love and action. Stories interlock and criss-cross: Marici (Cássia Kiss) is expecting a final consummation with roué Eudes (Stepan Nercessian), but he is fatally distracted by the decades-younger Bel (Maria Flor). Bel has only turned up to help her DJ boyfriend Marquinhos (Paulo Vilhena) who, despite the age gap, is neurotically threatened by Eudes's old-school moves. This is merely a selection:...
